Does Mobile Working Work?

Like all SME's we are facing challenging times this forthcoming year; some of our known challenges are controlling costs in anticipation of the forecasted recession, office space constraints, car parking and increased competition for talented employees.

The right time for us to act is now, so what are we doing? Adopting and living the philosophy that work is an activity and not a location.  Mobile working is known to have many business benefits:

- Reduces travel costs, accommodation costs and dead time from travelling

- Lowers recruitment costs, reduces your carbon footprint

But we'd love to know your views on how you're making best use of mobile working. 

Does it help you?

- Achieve a better work-life balance?

- Win those talented employees?

- Stay up-to-date with technology?

- Keep you and your employees connected?

We'd love to hear from you and know your thoughts and ideas on mobile working - drop us your comments :-)
